A fund managed by Bridge Office Fund Manager LLC has purchased a three-building, 267k sf office campus in San Mateo from BRE Alameda Property Owner LLC. The price was not disclosed.
The property, which has been awarded LEED Gold status, includes: 900 Alameda de las Pulgas (four stories, 99k sf); 1950 Alameda de las Pulgas (two stories, 22.3k sf); and 2000 Alameda de las Pulgas (two stories, 147k sf). Currently 98% occupied, tenants include the County of San Mateo, California Casualty and a diverse mix of smaller tenants.
Bridge, an affiliate of Bridge Investment Group LLC, plans to invest more than $7.6 mil in renovations as part of a repositioning initiative that will include a new name for the property, located at 1900-2000 Alameda de las Pulgas.
The capital improvement program will create modern collaborative common areas, new lobbies and a tenant lounge, as well as upgrading the dining options, the fitness center and building exteriors, with many of the significant improvements focused on Building 1900. Previous renovations created a modern conference center and improved atriums and landscaping throughout the campus.
The property is located directly off of Hwy 92 and less than two miles from US-101, providing tenants convenient access to San Francisco to the north and the major hubs of Silicon Valley. As rental rates continue to spike in northern Silicon Valley and San Francisco, San Mateo continues to experience heightened demand.
“This office campus offers an excellent location in the Mid-Peninsula market between San Francisco and Silicon Valley while providing tenants high-quality space at more competitive rates than some of the Bay Area’s other high-profile markets,” said Jeff Shaw, Principal with Bridge Office Manager and CEO of Bridge Commercial Real Estate, the office operating subsidiary of Bridge Investment Group. “Our comprehensive capital improvement plan will significantly enhance the property’s amenities and we expect to maintain high occupancy levels in the campus’s three buildings.”
The Mid-Peninsula office market totals approximately 21 msf of space and is home to numerous high-profile tenants, including Oracle, Facebook, Google and Intuit. The strong local economy is highlighted by steady job growth and an unemployment rate that has dipped to a 16-year low of less than 3%.
Will Connors, Michel Seifer, Daniel Renz, Erik Doyle, Rob Hielscher and Cheri Pierce with Jones Lang LaSalle represented the owner in the property sale. Josh Rowell with Newmark Cornish Carey will market the property for lease.
